Who knew there were so many of them? And while I hate to blame the would-be victim, after the second, you&#39;d think these girls would learn.<br /><br />But asking-for-it rapyness aside, I really enjoyed it. Great companion piece to Heavenly Creatures. And that final scene was AMAZING!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-3340493891847438582008-11-12T15:05:00.000-06:002008-11-12T15:05:00.000-06:00C'mon, Vicar!

Get hip to it, liebling ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm really curious about this film after reading your write-up. The stills gallery makes it look like a nicely-crafted character study. I will confess to sharing some of Absinthe's dislike of animal abuse in films. I've watched snipped prints of a couple of Eurotrash nasties simply because I didn't feel like seeing wee furry critters bite the big one.<BR/><BR/>The kids in "HIII," though--still totally asked for it.Tenebrous Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10032561062849200919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-4346750328712056272008-11-11T13:14:00.000-06:002008-11-11T13:14:00.000-06:00Absinthe--they *do* claim in the supplemental mate...Absinthe--they *do* claim in the supplemental materials that no animals were harmed (&quot;The birdies were just *resting*!&quot;), though as I noted above I have serious doubts about this. They were definitely hugely symbolic to the director, however, as the fragile innocence of the girls, being crushed by their bad deeds.<BR/><BR/>In fact later in the movie, at the talent show right before the Big Finale, a younger class from the girls&#39; school does a ballet in which all the young, innocent girls are dressed as (you guessed it) goldfinches! I can&#39;t help thinking it wasn&#39;t an accident.<BR/><BR/>&gt;&gt;animal/pet/baby/young child torture/murder<BR/><BR/>And yet you claim to love <I>Halloween III</I>?

That's the one thing that gets under my skin - I can watch Hostel, I can watch Saw, show me song birds being poisoned and I'm done!Absinthehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839267644587935389noreply@blogger.com
